Agreed. But we are powerless before the might of their tinfoil psionic helmet!

Oh holy shit, seriously?

That's too fucking perfect isn't it?

If I promise to just delete everything, can I be a moderator?

The restraint you guys show is amazing sometimes.

I was hoping someone else would reposition that pic. I presume everybody glanced up from TTS' post, but I was experiencing something like ocular pingpong for a moment.

I was a bit barbannoyed with myself, but given the past few days evidence, well, I can't work up the energy in the face of psychic sex coercion and girls, they glisten.

The pic is still out of whack on the other page. It can't be repositioned until Stoatie's old name drops out of the prev. field.

Oh, I meant 'repositioned' in the sense of being moved from being an unintentional precursor to the Lucid quotes, to being the response. I thought it should be done, but I wasn't the one to do it, kind of thing.

You know that whole thing about why a lot of us don't really go into the Temple as much as we'd like?

It's that thing. That... thing.

(Incidentally, there's a mod request in to resize my last image, which actually IS too big for the frame).

But can anyone see that pic, other than you? For me, there´s only that macrochan thing showing up. I had to copy and paste the picture´s address into a new tab to see that medieval picture.

I've logged out and looked at it, and it's fine.

I have no idea how computers work, mind you.

When someone hotlinks a picture, ze won´t see the "condemnatory message" picture, while everyone else will. I believe, that´s because the picture would be in the cache(?) of the original poster´s computer. I´ve read the wiki article on hotlinking, but it doesn´t clarify.

Yes, the culprit is the cache, which remembers what the image looked like when you first loaded it up (ie when you looked at it on the original website) and obligingly shows it to you while everyone else is seeing a red X, a "stop nicking my bandwidth!" notice, or--and this is why one should really host the pic oneself--an obscene or otherwise offensive image, depending on how mean the person hosting the pic was feeling that day. Even if everything goes smoothly there is nothing to stop the image host from switching the original image with Goatse* at some future date.

*DON'T Google it.

OK... so how do I fix that?

You can hotlink images from a Flickr account. Just save the picture to your own hard drive, then upload it.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
22:43 / 07.06.07
Done, and the request's in, though what the fuck is this having to have a Yahoo ID to access your already extant Flickr account? I SO don't get computers at all.

Flickr and Yahoo formed an evil pact. Of DOOOM.

I see Lord Switch is returned, and has some ideas about how Barbelith is not as good as it used to be because people are too uptight.
 
 
Quantum
12:11 / 08.06.07
Quelle coincidence! I am annoyed at being accused of taking things too seriously, again, but thank god Switch pointed it out in time before I became teh grayface.

Some people say time is cyclic. I'm beginning to believe it.

Your vision for the people of Barbelith is for everyone to be riding the omnibus, eating grey sludge, isn't it, Quantum? Is it not?

Look, seriously, can we a) stop letting wingnuts in and b) kick wingnuts out? I reckon we can get Barbelith down to about a hundred people without even blinking.

Grey sludge? Has Quantum been experimenting with nanotech again?
 
 
Quantum
12:22 / 08.06.07
No tiny tech (not after the last near-nanocaust), the sludge is a highly nutricious recycled bus-snack I call 'Soylent Grey'.

Haus, not sure if you are talking about Lord Switch or not? Generally, I think he makes great contributions to The Temple - thinking of his contributions to the ceremonial magick threads. I wouldn't class him as wingnut at all. Possibly you remember other threads I don't.

And I can sympathize to a degree with what he's saying, as I felt it myself after big Barb rows, though not this one. Whenever there has been a big argument, no matter how much I may agree with the points argued for, I get a bit tired or more of the same.

Whenever someone says something like this, I'm reminded of Jimmy Pursey of Sham 69, in the film DOA, crying and shouting at the crowd "Just stop fucking fighting!" Not effective then and not effective now.

Hey, why's that truck hauling away old Conversation threads?

It...it's going into the Soylent Grey factory!

OMFG! SOYLENT GREY IS TEH CONVO!

I appreciate that this is not funny for those who have to engage with it directly, but the Temple these days is feeling like a weekly "hard-hitting crime drama" on a less distinguished TV network.

Last week: The Temple Squad faced down an arrogant fantasist who preys on women!

This week: See the Temple Squad come to blows over how best to tame elitist asshole crime!

Yeah, but... it isn't that, is it? It's specifically "Stand still while I hit you!" It's all right for our Pursey analogue to call people uptight, accuse them of hypocrisy, say that they are nitpicking and bitching, belittle the validity of their beliefs and how they express them. It is not reasonable for other people to behave adversarially - only for him.

Now, standing still while somebody hits you is not really a fight. So, by a very limited interpretation, attempting to get someone to stand still while you hit them is indeed an attempt to stop a fight. However, it is not a massively useful attempt.

Next week: See the Temple moderators tackle a conspiracy theorist who believes that blood-drinking pedophile lizards are putting drugs in our food, and someone angling for succubus-summoning tips!

Don't miss the breathtaking season finale where they chuck it all in to go and live in the woods and eat squirrels!

Can we get Whedon to write a season of The Temple?
No wait that would mean even more conflict and upheaval...but sexy sexiness and axe like weapons...now I'm conflicted.




oooh lolbuffy.... I'm being extra annoying now!
